Hero mum fighting for life tells her story

A mum diagnosed with cancer last August and given a year to live tells a heartbreaking story in a documentary being aired tomorrow night.

“If my story stops just one other person dropping their life assurance or highlights just how cutbacks are affecting our health service, then I’ll be happy if that’s part of the legacy I leave behind.”

The stark words come from Jackie Crowe, aged 49. Two years prior to hearing the shocking news of her health condition, the mother of two was made redundant which left her in a difficult financial situation.
